Top 100 Engineering Colleges in India

Welcome to the 4th Edition of Silicon India's Top 100 Engineering Colleges, 2013.

It is evident that IITs,
NITs and few other premier engineering colleges alone cannot churn out enough engineers to meet
this need and it is here the other engineering colleges, private and public, play their role. But with
new technology institutes mushrooming in every nook and corner of the country, a dilemma about the
quality of education arises for both IT organizations who are looking for good engineers and students
who want to pursue a career in this industry. We at SiliconIndia with our 15 years of media expertise
and expose to IT and related technology space, understand that despite the infrastructure, faculty,
fee structure and other criteria, the sole parameter of judging a college's quality is the performance
of its graduates in the industry, which in turn can be measured by the pay package commanded by
them. Thus, this list is entirely based on a single parameter -CTC of a graduate after five years of work
experience.

Methodology:

To rank the best engineering colleges, a perceptual study was conducted among HR managers,
Recruitment firms and job boards. The companies/institutes were chosen carefully to ensure that the
HR managers/professionals interviewed were involved with recruitment and had a fair idea about the
market. Over 3000 engineers and Computer professionals who graduated in the year 2008 and did not
pursue any other course/program a rewards were interviewed across the six metros-Delhi, Mumbai,
Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai After an exhaustive research and analysis, we finally came
up with a list of top 100 engineering institutes (govt/private) in three streams - Computer Science,
Electronics and Communication and Mechanical Engineering. Apart from this we also formed a list top
10 institutes across India in each zone and Top Emerging Colleges in India and Top Private University in
India for Engineering. This report also covers Best 10 M. Tech. Colleges.
